'She's got a forever home where she can safely raise her babies': Couple rescues a sick pregnant cat

Being pregnant is one of the most vulnerable periods of your life, and that is just as true for cats as it is for humans. That's why we constantly see stories of pregnant cats asking humans for help. Because they know. They know that their babies have a much better chance of surviving and thriving with those weird creatures who just want to pamper them all day long. And this pregnant cat was no different.

This pregnant kitty needed help. She was all alone, outside and sick, and she knew that even if her babies will be born healthy, she will not have the strength and health that she needs to take care of them, not alone, not outside in difficult conditions. So, when kind humans showed up and offered their help, she took it, and now, safe and sound with her babies in their new home, the momma is not only happy, she is thriving.

One thing that we truly did not know about cats before adopting one was the fact that they are obsessive. When they want something, they do not give up until they get it. The same is true when they love something. And you never know what that something that they are obsessed with will be until the moment that you see it with your own eyes.

We have seen cats be obsessed with some of the most ridiculous things over our time writing for ICHC. We have seen cats obsessed with cucumbers. We have seen cats obsessed with almonds, not even eating them, most like battling them and saving them. And our cats at home are obsessed with bread and with carrots for some reason. We don't know why, but we have stopped questioning it. Now, it's just about providing them with their obsession and keeping them happy. Which is what this human decided to do when they found out that their cat has a particular love toward snap peas.

If you’re looking for in-ear earbuds with superior sound quality, long-lasting battery life, and a secure fit, the Beats Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds are a reliable option, especially for those who are fans of Beats headphones. Right now, you can get an open-box pair for just $100 on Woot, a 60% discount.

Open-Box Beats Powerbeats Pro Earbuds

The Powerbeats Pro feature over-ear hooks that have a secure fit and are ideal for vigorous workouts and sports, with users praising how stable they remain during movement. Compatible with the Apple ecosystem, they’re easy to pair with iOS and allow for fast device switching. They also have a strong battery life, offering nine hours of playback for the buds alone. With the included charging case, they last up to 24 hours. Volume can be controlled on the earbuds via physical buttons, as can controls that let you control and skip tracks. The IPX4 rating makes them suitable for rainy days and sweaty workouts.

The headphones feature an intense bass-heavy punch and bright highs for a sculpted sound signature, notes this PCMag review. This is mostly a pro, but it may make some tracks like orchestral music sound overly boosted—and you can’t tweak EQ on the companion app. And despite their powerful audio performance, they don’t feature Active Noise Cancellation. Still, they’re widely regarded as some of the best premium earbuds, and with their combination of sound, battery life, Apple compatibility, and a secure fit for fitness lovers, the Beats Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds are a good deal at just $100.

Watergate and comedy

Gather 'round, children. As an elder of the tribe, I must remind you of history, and the perspectives it can provide.

https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1973/05/29

The above link goes to what is probably the most famous Doonesbury cartoon of all time. Many papers refused to run it. Many that did run it, put it on the editorial page rather than the comics page. The Washington Post ran an editorial about why it didn't run it. It was controversial because it violated the presumption of innocence for John Mitchell. Many papers cancelled Doonesbury, though most who didn't run it, just skipped that day.

And that was it. It was well known that President Nixon hated Doonesbury and, by extension, Garry Trudeau, but he didn't demand any retribution.

Watergate was a punchline. It was a punchline for Flip Wilson who ran at 8 p.m. on Thursdays. It was a punchline for local radio DJs. It was a punchline for Johnny Carson (who was scathing in some of his monologues). And no one got cancelled, suspended, or disappeared for the jokes, whether good or bad.

When Gerald Ford came into office in late 1974, he said [perhaps slightly paraphrased], "In Washington, we get our news from intelligence briefings, The Washington Post, and Doonesbury -- not necessarily in that order."

It never occurred to me that I would look back on the violent and discordant early 1970s as "the halcyon days." Still, say what you will against Richard Nixon, he believed in the Constitution and he understood all the amendments.

Meta Unveiled Their New Oakley Vanguard Smart Glasses

Along with display-style glasses, Meta's 2025 line of smart spectacles includes a new version of Oakley Meta glasses. Called Vanguard, these shield-style smart glasses will cost $499 and go on sale Oct. 21.

Vanguards feature a wrap-around frame and a 12MP camera that shoots 3K video from a center-mounted camera that can be operated hands-free. According to Meta, Vanguard glasses have a battery life of up to nine hours of daily use, improved audio, and (of course) integration with Meta's AI.

At the company's Meta Connect 2025 keynote, the company also announced partnerships with Garmin and Strava. Garmin users will be able to sync their glasses with Garmin devices to track progress and get performance summaries through the Meta AI app. Strava users will be able to share activities from their glasses and access their workout history. Both devices will allow activity data—distance traveled, pace, heart-rate, and more—to be overlaid on video.

Missing trumpet slide on bike path

Last night a friend got on the bike path by the Lowell St stairs/bridge carrying a trumpet, and one of the valve slides (U-shaped silver metal) fell off as he headed towards Davis. If you find it please let me know and I'll put you in touch with the owner.

Thanks!

Meta Officially Unveiled Its Rumored Display-Style Ray-Ban Smart Glasses

Posted by Stephen Johnson

https://lifehacker.com/tech/meta-unveiled-rumored-display-style-smart-glasses?utm_medium=RSS

At the company's Meta Connect 2025 event yesterday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg officially unveiled its long-rumored and recently leaked display-focused smart glasses. Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses will cost $799 and go on sale on Sept. 30.

The next generation of Meta smart glasses will feature a full-color, monocular, 600 × 600 pixel HUD in one of the lenses that will only be visible to the user. Display smart glasses will also include improved versions of the audio, video, and AI capabilities of non-display Meta glasses.

Credit: Meta

Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses will be controlled through a wearable device dubbed the "Meta Neural Band," which allows users to "type" on any surface to send messages as well as control other aspects of the display and smart glasses through small muscle movements.

According to Zuckerberg, users will be able to “silently control their glasses with barely perceptible movements.” An example from the keynote: turning up the volume on music by mimicking the motion of turning a dial. The wristband will have 18 hours of battery life and is IPX7, so it can be fully immersed in water up to one meter.

At the keynote, Zuckerberg showed off texting on the Display glasses, and touted that video calls through WhatsApp would be available on the new glasses (although, notably, the demo didn't actually work at the event).

Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses will feature a 12MP camera with 3X zoom, and the addition of a display screen gives users a viewfinder and the ability to see pictures and videos you take before you send them or save them.

Why I'm excited to try these glasses

I'm not the "looking-forward-to-things" type, but I'm really looking forward to trying out Displays. I'm not the type that fans out over giant tech companies either, but I can't deny it: Overall, the best new hardware of any type I've used in last 10 years was made by Meta. Meta's Quest VR headsets are excellent and inexpensive (even if I'm not entirely sold on VR as anything but a cool gimmick), and I have nothing but praise for Meta Ray-Bans, and this after wearing second generation Metas as my everyday eyewear for around a year.

I have questions, though: I'm not sure if texting and otherwise computing from my glasses with a wristband is something I need in my life; despite keynote assurances from Mark Zuckerberg, I wonder how intuitive the neural control will actually be; and Meta's vision of "personal superintelligence" creeps me out. But overall, if the Display works as well and as easily as other recent Meta gear in my house, these glasses will be amazing. They could be life-changing for people with hearing problems—Display glasses will be able to add "subtitles" to conversations in real time. They could genuinely make living with ADHD a little easier, too: If I lose my car keys it will (presumably) be able to tell me where I left them.

I'm old enough to remember when being technology ready-for-anything meant carrying around a digital camera, a flip phone, a calculator, a GPS unit, a watch, and more, all of which I'd lose along the way. All that gear has now collapsed into a smart phone. If Display works the way Meta promises, this could be the next collapse, where you don't even need the phone, just the glasses you were going to wear anyway.

And that's a big "if." Neural wristbands, heads-up displays, and AI “seeing what you see” all sound incredible, but hype from a keynote touting amazing features that turn out to be half-baked crap that no one wants is a tech-industry cliche at this point. But I'm still excited. By the end of the month, I might get to see the future; who wouldn't be excited?

If you’ve been waiting for a Kindle that holds more than just a handful of books, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is worth a closer look, especially at today’s price. This like-new version with 32GB of storage is selling for $126.99 on Amazon (its lowest price yet, according to price-trackers). For context, a brand-new unit currently lists at $199.99, so you’re saving a solid $73 while still getting a device that’s been tested, cleaned, and restored directly by Amazon. Every refurbished model goes through a diagnostic check, secure data wipe, and part replacement if needed, so you’re not rolling the dice on performance.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Ed. 32GB 7" eReader (Like New)

Its 7-inch glare-free display runs at 300 pixels per inch, making text sharp and easy to read, while the adjustable warm light takes the strain out of late-night sessions. This version also comes ad-free, which longtime Kindle owners know is a big quality-of-life upgrade, and with 32GB of storage, you won’t have to worry about deleting books to make space—there’s room for a huge library, plus heavier stuff like graphic novels and audiobooks (though, you’ll need Bluetooth headphones for Audible playback, since there’s no headphone jack). As for battery life, it stretches into months rather than days, and charging is flexible: Plug it in with USB-C, or just set it on a wireless charging dock and forget about it.

While the Signature Edition doesn’t reinvent the Kindle experience, as noted in this PCMag review, the wireless charging, IPX8 water resistance, and bumped-up storage make it the most complete version of Amazon’s e-reader lineup. That doesn’t mean it’s the best choice for everyone. For casual readers, the standard Paperwhite might be plenty. But for anyone who reads daily and wants the perks of more storage, wireless charging, and no ads, this refurbished Signature Edition at its lowest price yet is a strong deal. If you’re still weighing your options, Lifehacker has a guide on which Kindle is best for you, or you can check out a comparison between the Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Paperwhite if you’re curious about how it stacks up against newer color-screen models.

"Never pay full price for a MacBook Air" seems to be the takeaway from the latest Apple launches. Apple unveiled its updated lineup of M4-powered MacBook Air laptops in early March, and all the M4s saw their first discounts a few weeks later. The M4, M3, M2, and M1 MacBook Airs are all discounted right now, with some at their lowest prices ever, according to price-tracking tools. If you're on a budget, you can always go for the older M2 and M1 laptops, which are still great laptops in 2025.

This is arguably the best option for most people. With 16GB of RAM for even the most basic MacBook Air, you'll be able to take on intensive applications and projects now and for many years to come. The most basic M4 MacBook Air comes with a 13.6-inch "Liquid Retina" display, with a resolution of 2,560 by 1,664, a P3 wide color gamut, and a maximum brightness of 500 nits. You'll also get an excellent backlit keyboard with Touch ID, Wi-Fi 6E support, and great speakers and microphones. Apple also decided to bring back MagSafe charging with this laptop.</p><p>All of the M4 MacBook Airs come with a 12MP camera with Center Stage. You might've first seen this feature <a href="https://lifehacker.com/how-to-enable-center-state-on-your-ipad-1847678533" target="_blank"><u>on iPads</u></a> and <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/the-macbook-pro-is-getting-an-m4-upgrade-but-not-the-macbook-air" target="_blank"><u>on the M4 MacBook Pro</u></a>, which follows your face as you move around the frame during video calls. The two USB-C ports are Thunderbolt 4, meaning you can extend to up to two 6K external monitors if you buy the equipment separately.

driving with audiobooks

My least favorite part of the return to office is the driving, because I'd really prefer to be using those four hours per week to do other things (like not driving, lol). But listening to audiobooks in the car has definitely made the experience better, sometimes in unexpected ways.

As in, I used to spend a LOT of the drive to and from work thinking about work! But now I'm spending the drive thinking about BOOK, which is clearly 10,000x better. It's like as soon as I get in the car at the end of the day, work is OVER and my brain is totally in storytime mode. It feels much less like I need to Get Home for the workday to be over, which makes it much easier to sit in traffic and not get super frustrated and cranky.

ALSO it means that yesterday I arrived at work and some people were a little stressed about various aspects of the day, and meanwhile I was thinking 'THIS MAN HAS 43 HOURS LEFT TO LIVE AND IS TRACKING THE POTENTIAL LIFE SAVING CURE THROUGH A FROZEN LANDSCAPE.' It really put the rest of the day into perspective, is what I'm saying.

Current Mood: blah

Still too tired

I got home about an hour earlier today and slightly less disgusting. It got back up in the 90s F today with humidity to spare, but about time work as winding down, some wind blew in what was supposed to be rain but which was a temperature drop of about 10F in an hour, though that still left it in a more comfortable but still quite warm 80s range.

Managed to clean my dishes that had been sitting for two days. Was going to try to cook something but realized the eggplant from the mail had started to go bad, so screw it, I'll wait for the weekend. I have to work this Saturday but only a half day and I get to sleep in.

I'm still just feeling so brain-cooked and frustrated. I want to be creative, but I always just feel like I'm in trouble for not doing enough to entertain the friends I have who care what I do.

I got a little notebook in the mail. Plan to use it for prayer journaling due to the whole brain-is-too-slippery-and-overheated feeling.

I also wrote in my little Japanese study notebook I started before I moved here in 2024 for the first time since. Something about my old boss's approach to "encouraging" me to learn Japanese just made me pissed off for over a year. At least I am doing something, but I want to do things that don't just feel practical without being too tired to function.

The Day in Spikedluv (Wednesday, Sept 17)

I had a chiropractic appointment this morning. I hit Price Chopper and the Pharmacy while I was downtown and got in a walk around the park.

I did two loads of laundry (both washed, dried AND folded!), hand-washed dishes, went for several walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, scooped kitty litter, and shaved. I grilled Italian sausage for Pip’s supper.

I read more in Duncan Kincaid.

Temps started out at 46.0(F) and reached 74.3. I did not wear shorts this morning because the temps were only supposed to be about 70, but tomorrow it will be high 70s, so I anticipate shorts again!

Mom Update:

Mom was tired today, but she still went out to sit on the porch. ( more back here )
